My husband has been transferred to Washington D.C. It has been exciting being involved in the restoration of the Siletz Tribe. It has been a privilege to participate in the growth of the tribe from restoration to the reestablishment of your reservation. I wish 1 could continue my involvement with the tribe this most exciting time, however, this isn’t possible. I would like to express my appreciation to the Tribal Members who have extended their friendship and support. I will indeed miss all of you. I wish you all continued success in whatever you do.
